JHSC CERTIFICATION TRAINING

New Joint Health and Safety Committee Certification training programsCertification training as unique as your workplace

The Ontario Ministry of Labour announced a new Certification Training Standard regarding Joint Health and Safety Committees (JHSC), which applies to all Ontario workplaces with 20 or more employees.

Workplace Safety North offers custom programs specific to printing and converting, and pulp and paper sectors.

What is a JHSC?

A Joint Health and Safety Committee is a workplace committee required under Section 9 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA). The committee is made up of management and worker representatives who work together to identify health and safety problems and recommend solutions.

At least two JHSC members (one worker, one manager) must be certified. This is accomplished through the completion of Part One and Two of JHSC certification training.

JHSC certified member training is encouraged for all committee members. This helps ensure ongoing compliance if or when certified members leave the committee. Training is offered across Ontario, including on-site at your workplace.

With the enforcement of new JHSC Certification training, a call to Workplace Safety North can help ensure your business meets or exceeds legislative compliance.
